Building a Comprehensive, Community-Centered Care System Expected

On March 26, Changnyeong County in Gyeongsangnam-do signed a business agreement with the Changnyeong County Social Welfare Council (Chairman Ha Youngcheol) to promote the "Gyeongnam-style Neighbor Care" initiative.

This agreement was established to build a community-centered, comprehensive care system by connecting local care resources, in response to increasing demand for care due to the aging population and the rise in single-person households.

According to the agreement, the county will be responsible for the overall management of the integrated care project, as well as identifying and linking eligible recipients and providing administrative support. The council will manage care workers, provide functional and competency training, and build a local care network to deliver neighbor care services.

The Gyeongnam-style Neighbor Care project aims to create a sustainable, village-centered care infrastructure by enabling local residents to take the lead in providing a variety of care services, including daily living support, emotional support, and well-being checks.

A county official stated, "We expect this agreement to help fill the gaps in local care and lay the foundation for all residents to live healthy and safe lives in their own communities." The official added, "We will continue to strengthen the integrated care system in cooperation with various private organizations going forward."

The county plans to further expand the project and continuously discover and support community-based, customized care services.
